Breville Pie Maker

No, the machine is designed to work with standard pastry sheets. You simply lay the sheet over the plates, add your filling, and place the top layer of pastry over it; the plate design handles the cutting and sealing automatically.

The appliance is engineered to bake a full batch of eight pies in under 10 minutes. The exact timing will depend on the thickness of your pastry and the moisture content of your fillings.

The 'A Bit More' button allows you to add a small increment of cooking time without resetting the entire cycle. It is particularly useful if you prefer a darker, crispier crust or if you are using fillings with higher moisture content.

You can use it for both. The non-stick surface is versatile enough to handle everything from fruit-filled hand pies to savory leftovers like meat and vegetables.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the non-stick coating on the plates. Once the unit has cooled down, you can simply wipe the plates clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
